Losing a pet can be a tough experience, but it's important to recognize that the emotions that come with it are natural and valid. Pets are often considered family members, and their loss can be as painful as losing a human loved one.
Taking the time to process these emotions is crucial for the healing process. Remembering the happy moments shared with your pet can provide comfort and help you move forward with confidence.

What Is Aquamation?
FAQ??
Is Aquamation safe?
Yes,
Aquamation remains are 100% safe as they are simply a mixture of bone materials, minerals, and calcium phosphate. They are also disease and pathogen-free, which makes them, in many ways, safer to handle and be around than a dead body. Aquamation is also safe for the environment. The solution used in aquamation, a mixture of 95% water and 5% alkali, is completely natural and safe. And, even if it wasn’t, by the end of the aquamation process the alkalis are completely used up. So, all that remains at the end of an aquamation is water, bones and dust
How long does it take?
An Aquamation process takes 6-8 hours, or 18-20 hours depending on the operating temperature of the equipment. The difference between an Aquamation and a flame cremation is that they both take place at different temperatures with one taking 1-3 hrs compared to up to 16 hr for an aquamation
Can I get my pet's remains returned?
Yes, with 20-30% more ashes than one would receive from a flame cremation. At the end of the process, the inorganic remains of the body (the calcium phosphate of the bones) resemble skeletal remains.
